Crocodile Hunter dead at 44

[dredgfan001]

haha, and now for the more cruel and insensitive post, supposedly there is a video of him pulling the stingray barb out of his chest just before he died. I want to see this video, anybody who can link me to the video is a champion

[evasivetear]

it'll be on youtube soon...or will find it's way into becoming an animated gif....the predictability of the internet is astounding

Just to clear up some false rumors around the death.

Yes, he was filming something about the world's most dangerous creatures, but that was not what he was filming at the time of the attack. Instead, he was filming footage for a new children's show that he was going to be hosting. While attempting to film footage of the reef, he swam over the stingray, which was immersed in the sand. The stingray attacked.


Also, I highly doubt the video will surface as the people that filmed it work with him closely. This isn't some bystander filming it; it is a professional crew.

well i'd have to say of all the was to die, being stabbed in teh chest with a stingray has got to be the most unusual. in general. and not with the tail or whatever of a stingray. fuck that. he got stabbed with e stingray itself. that's nasty man.

what?

[Ars Sycro]

Ummm.... he did get stabbed with the tail...

I heard somewhere that they actually have the video of him being killed somewhere in this great place known as the internet...???

[Ars Sycro]

Not true. It's in police custody, and it will probably be destroyed when released (as requested by his family and Animal Planet).

[Gnomad]

Yeah, that would be best. Good call.

flip-flopper  :roll:

Just cause he doesn't care for the guy's crazy antics doesn't mean he wants the last moment of his life all over the place.

You people make me sick!
